Kilpisjärvi | Occasional water outages during times of high demand

Dear guests,

During times of high demand, there are many people in Kilpisjärvi village at once, which is why water pressure may occasionally drop and temporary water outages may occur. High demand periods include e.g. Easter time and the Vain 2 Kalaa ice fishing competition at the beginning of May each year.

The drop in water pressure is due to Kilpisjärvi village’s location near the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area and higher than usual water use in the area, which means that the Enontekiö Municipality water distribution is currently unable to ensure sufficient water pressure during peak times.

In the event of water outages, we kindly ask you to use water thoughtfully. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
